Yesterday, a friend said that he was very annoyed with his current self, his income was not high, he often worked overtime, he wanted to quit his job but was afraid that he would not find a job, he wanted to travel, but he had no money!
In fact, I believe that many people have this friend's troubles. Many times, we are very dissatisfied with ourselves and want to be a better version of ourselves and make ourselves happier and happier, but we don't know how.
I just finished reading a book called "Insight", which I think is very well written, easy to understand, and has strong references. The author is Zhao Haimin, a learning expert, who reads more than 100 books every year, and he is also the author of the best-selling book "Bottom Thinking".
For ordinary people, it is very important to make themselves stronger, to see farther than others, to see more accurately, and to do better. It is very difficult to do without mastering a certain method. "Insight" not only has theory, but also provides a lot of practical methods.

In fact, there is a way to become a better version of yourself. In my opinion, the following 6 steps are essential, so you might as well bookmark them and experience them repeatedly.
First, set achievable goals. To do anything, it is best to set a clear goal, which cannot be set too high, if it is not achieved, it is a fantasy. You can't set it too low, and if you don't have to work hard to do it, that's not the goal.
For example, what kind of self do you want to be? This goal can be a two-level promotion in a position, or an individual learning a few new knowledge, or a doubling of the monthly salary, from 10,000 yuan to 20,000 yuan. Setting clear and achievable goals helps to stay focused, quantify and evaluate every progress.
Second, take the initiative to continue learning. In the era of the information explosion, knowledge is updated extremely quickly. After entering the society, many people give up their studies and choose to lie down and rot, naturally unable to keep up with the pace of the times.
One way to do this is to be proactive and keep learning new knowledge and skills. Through reading, participating in courses, participating in discussions and practice, etc., your knowledge base will be updated in a timely manner, your horizons will be broadened, and your core competitiveness will become stronger and stronger.
Third, reflection and revision. In the process of growing up in life, we must often reflect on our own behaviors and decisions, bravely face our strengths and shortcomings, be good at learning from them, and constantly revise our ways of doing things, so as to put ourselves on the right path.
Fourth, maintain a positive attitude. Nowadays, many people are not happy and always like to complain, but never find the reason from themselves. The right thing to do is to maintain an optimistic and positive attitude and better cope with challenges and difficulties. By believing that you have the ability and potential to overcome difficulties, you will be able to achieve your life goals step by step.
Fifth, develop good habits. The so-called good habits are to know how to be self-disciplined, use their brains, actively look for better ways to do things, look at society with a positive attitude, look at the future with a long-term vision, and shape a better self.
Sixth, learn altruistic thinking. As we all know, people who are generous and tolerant are more likely to make friends and get help from others when they encounter difficulties. And selfish people have a hard time building good relationships with people. Learning to think altruistic can expand your network, mobilize more resources, and learn more from others.
Through the above 6 steps, you can gradually become a better version of yourself. It is important to note that change is an ongoing process that requires time, patience and perseverance, as well as a certain methodology.
Believe in one sentence: never forget, there will be an echo!
